Obviously any disappointed father talking to his son or a construction worker yelling at some tresspassing hippies to "get a real job" understands that their "non-real jobs" do not exist solely in some ethereal make believe fantasy world where they are paid in fairy dust.

You know exactly what I mean. And so does everybody else.Are you really interested in this semantic bullshit?

Thats what its all about.

But in all seriousness. I do not understand why a lawyer is any different than a construction worker. Both are legitimate "jobs" that a person can do for a living. Would the father be disappointed in his son becoming a lawyer over a construction worker? Would a construction worker consider a lawyer as having a job? It just seems hard to argue the fact lawyers do not do "real" work, or do not have a "real" job. There is a demand for that work and lawyers are there to satisfy the demand. Its the same with any "job". Whether it be law, construction, educating.

I understand where you're coming from. Normally I'd take the time to answer your questions, but I just locked up shop and since it's Friday I'm headed to the bar with the fellas to get liquored up and make a fool of myself. So I'll just leave you with a question to ponder until I can give a more thorough response:

Do you trust your auto-mechanic?

(If you can figure out the relevance of that question to this discussion, then kudos. It'd certainly put you 5-6 steps ahead of diggity here)

Have a good time, drink and be merry

And to answer your question, not completely. I do trust that the job will be completed, however I do question the accuracy of the costs. Unless I can do it myself, I have no choice in the matter. I believe this is where attorneys have the same edge.

Obama is doing a decent job if you are a die hard socialist. I understand the comparison to another socialist, Adolf Hitler. Hitler also got universal healthcare for his country ala Obama.

I liked it when Obama was Senator and said it was "irresponsible" and showing a "lack of leadership" for Bush wanting the debt ceiling raised when the U.S. debt was at $10,000,000,000,000. He voted against it as Senator.

Now this Kenyan is asking for the debt ceiling to be raised with U.S. debt now at $14,000,000,000,000. You can't make this shit up.

Moron. You can't make this shit up alright.

Hey sheep, your commie leader is a fraud. Deal with it.

I think that what Chuch means is that Obama does not have a clue. He certainly has proven that.
